Support for Integration

All Our Children support the well-being of children, young people, and families who have migrated to Finland. We take into account the cultural background of the families and provide support for the development of children’s, families’ and young people’s sense of belonging and participation as part of their integration and settling process. We also promote the integration of families and the dialogue between authorities and immigrant communities.

Currently, we offer three types of immigration support programs:  The Supported Friend Family Program helping immigrant families to integrate to their local area and get to know their neighborhoods, The Support Families and People Program offering individual support to unaccompanied asylum-seeking children and youth, as well as children arriving with their families and Recreational Outings and Trips to Families living in Reception centers. Our volunteer programs offer different types of integration support for families, children and youth!

Voluntary Support Persons and Support Families

Our voluntary support persons and support families are targeted for unaccompanied 12-25-year-old youth who could benefit from long-lasting relationships and support in their integration.

Support persons and support families are ordinary, adult volunteers and families with sufficient capacity to meet the needs of an unaccompanied young person.

We recruit, train and offer support to volunteers in the Helsinki region and in Central Uusimaa and Western Uusimaa regions.
